Unpacking
Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using
the appliance Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of
drum.
Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to
your washing machine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount
of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as
possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to
an open window, this may occur naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust
outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with
the appliance; ending either temporarily at an open window, or
permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior
wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt
does not build up. Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the
air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be
placed on a firm, level surface.
Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through
deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which
would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may
affect the performance of the appliance.
